Why Kombucha Is The Best Drink To Get Addicted To
Kira McClary

Kombucha has got to be my new favorite drink. I get them in bulk, and every time I'm out I always stock up on a few extra. It makes me feel so good and I wondered why. I knew it was super healthy, but I decided to do some research on it and I love what I found. So here are some reasons as to why you should fall in love with Kombucha.

My favorite go-to Kombucha to drink is Brew Dr. Kombucha. It comes in a cute little bottle and tastes amazing. I get it in a six pack from Costco. Yeah, I'm a Kombuchaholic.

The ingredients are very simple and natural. Most bottles contain the same main ingredients. I listed some of my favorite BDK flavors and ingredients so that you can see how simple each bottle is.

Clear mind contains: Filtered Water, Organic Green Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Rosemary, Organic Peppermint, Organic Sage, Organic Dandelion Root, Live Probiotic Culture

Lemon Ginger Cayenne: Filtered Water, Organic Green Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Ginger, Organic Lemongrass, Organic Cayenne Pepper, Organic Lemon Balm, Live Probiotic Culture

Love: Filtered Water, Organic Jasmine Green Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Lavender, Organic Chamomile, Organic Damiana, Organic Rose, Live Probiotic Culture

SuperBerry: Filtered Water, Organic Oolong Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Currants, Organic Elderberry, Organic Hibiscus, Organic Rose Hips, Live Probiotic Culture

As I researched Kombucha, I found six reasons why this stuff is so good for you.

1. Detoxification

The detoxifying capacity of kombucha is immense. A perfect example is in its ability to counteract liver cell toxicity.

2. Digestion

Kombucha supports digestion because of its high levels of beneficial acid, probiotics and enzymes.

3. Energy

Formation of iron is released from the black tea during the fermentation process. It also contains some caffeine (although in very small amounts) and b-vitamins, which energizes the body.

Through a special process known as chelation, the iron released helps boost blood hemoglobin, improving oxygen supply to tissues and stimulating the energy-producing process at the cellular level. In other words, by helping the body create more energy (ATP), the tea can help those who regularly drink it stay energized.

4. Immune health

The overall effect that kombucha has to modulate the immune system is best seen in its ability to control antioxidant measures.

5. Cancer prevention

Kombucha is also beneficial for cancer prevention and recovery. A study published in Cancer Letters found that consuming glucaric acid found in kombucha reduced the risk of cancer in humans.

6. Weight loss

Data from a study in 2005 showed evidence that Kombucha improves metabolism and limits fat accumulation.

All of these reasons rock. There is not one outcome from drinking Kombucha that is bad for you. Drinking it can only be positive.

Drink on!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
